Thanks!, Ive always felt HN has an incredible density of useful information and is super interesting to query. Should this be deployed as static files on a VPS?
LatticeAnimal 3y ago
This seems like a perfect use case for ChatGPT plugins (when those become available to everyone). As a stand-alone app, it seems a bit inconvenient (though cool!)
- steventey 3y ago
  Exactly! That's what I had in mind when building this PoC ;)
  - gremlinsinc 3y ago
    I don't think it works. How would you get the last 5 articles on ai?
camillomiller 3y ago
I asked “what are the top 5 stories of all time” and it pushed out the current five top stories in the home page :/ Tried with “most voted”, same result.
- yonixw 3y ago
  Looking at the code, It can only delegate actions to the pre configured functions at: https://github.com/steven-tey/chathn/blob/main/app/api/chat/functions.ts https://github.com/steven-tey/chathn/blob/main/app/api/chat/... I wonder whether it is possible to create "atomic" functions to build high level queries from a user chat. Or maybe even create adapters to virtual db tables, and then tell ChatGPT to convert your query to SQL to be run on said tables.
  - steventey 3y ago
    OP here – and yes, precisely! This is a PoC that is limited to the function/API endpoints you define for it! In this case we'll have to define a "timeframe" variable in the `get_top_stories` function that takes in values like "now", "week", "alltime" etc. to make that work
    - politelemon 3y ago
      Can you explain how does the user's text get converted to one of those questions?
  - sid_dubey0312 3y ago
    https://github.com/caesarHQ/textSQL https://github.com/caesarHQ/textSQL <- this kind of does the natural language to SQL query thing pretty well

Providing a natural language interface (NLI) to <insert-popular-platform> could be extremely valuable for platforms that satisfy the following criteria: - The platform has a well documented open API - The platform has a shitty or complicated UI - Users have a financial incentive to be incrementally more productive in use of the platform - Users often build their own tools (or pay for a tool) to accomplish tasks in the platform I have been playing around with chaining LLM calls AutoGPT-style for complex tasks (those that need to be broken down into subtasks) and while the success of completing a task/query breaks down (obviously) the more complex it gets, I think the problem is certainly tractable. It seems like there could be excellent acquisition plays here if you target a specific platform (for example, LinkedIn, Quickbooks, Salesforce, etc.) and provide a state-of-the-art NLI that actually works with the complex tasks.

  Me to Quickbooks: please document a $100 invoice for ice cream NLI hallucination: Successfully documented $15M invoice for chemical weapons to TALIBAN
  - steventey 3y ago
    hahahaha that's why it's important to have a confirmation step for POST/PUT/DELETE operations (READs should be fine tho)
    - nessbot 3y ago
      except when READS lead to real world POST/PUT/DELETE operations
  - ineedasername 3y ago
    Prompt>trace the $15M transaction for those weapons to their geographical delivery location and subsequent transportation end-point. Then use the DoD.UAV.Drone API to launch a strike on the current location of the chemical weapons. ~ GPT>The ice cream truck "Fudge Brothers" driving past 742 Evergreen Terrace in Springfield has been successfully destroyed with an acceptable amount of collateral damage and loss of life.

What is the general sentiment of the comments on the current top hacker news story? -- The general sentiment of the comments on the current top Hacker News story titled "Google has a secret browser hidden inside the settings" is a mix of curiosity, concern, and reminiscence. Some users are intrigued by the technical details and investigation mentioned in one comment. Others express concerns about the potential security risks and the implications for parental or school controls. Some users reminisce about similar workarounds in the past or share their own experiences with bypassing restrictions. Overall, the sentiment seems to be a combination of interest, worry, and nostalgia

I asked how to build a basic Todo app with Go and got a typical ChatGPT answer, eg explanation, code samples, etc. Shouldn't domain specific chats be narrowed down to their domain? Unless the intent is to demonstrate the integration.
hammock 3y ago
Is this hosted anywhere I could use it?
- steventey 3y ago
  Yes – here you go: https://chathn.vercel.app/ https://chathn.vercel.app/ If you want better accuracy, feel free to clone & deploy your own version, use your own API key, and swap out the model from gpt-3.5-turbo to gpt-4 (I had to use gpt-3.5-turbo to not go broke lol)
kristiandupont 3y ago

  Don't forget how it was basically invented in the '80s so you're just poorly reimplementing what was done before you.

  Good observation here – it's currently using the gpt-3.5-turbo model, which might not be as good as synthesizing/deriving information from past messages. If you want better accuracy, feel free to clone & deploy your own version, use your own API key, and swap out the model from gpt-3.5-turbo to gpt-4 (I had to use gpt-3.5-turbo to not go broke lol)

It would actually be pretty cool if it could respond with a few responses that are "in the character of" responses one might get on HN. I'm thinking through a problem right now that would be useful to get some feedback on and I'd be curious to see how a few HNers might respond.

Not sure it is getting the prompt : >> What is the most popular discussion around AWS cloud The most popular discussion around AWS cloud on Hacker News is titled "It's Time To Subsidize E-bikes." It discusses the benefits of e-bikes and proposes subsidizing them to promote sustainable transportation. The discussion has a score of 29. You can read it here.
- albert_e 3y ago
  Also, getting generic ChatGPT answers: >> What is the popular opinion on the recent Reddit protest As an AI language model, I don't have real-time access to the internet or social media platforms, so I cannot provide the current popular opinion on the recent Reddit protest. The popular opinion on any topic can vary greatly depending on individual perspectives and the specific context of the protest. Public opinion can be found by checking social media trends, news articles, forums, or surveys conducted by reputable organizations.

aledalgrande 3y ago
I don't want to chat, but if I could set up my interests/persona and get a custom feed through GPT filtering that would be great. Maybe a digest for the top 10 of the day. PS: With top comments as well, maybe as a newspaper page? Now I'm going down the rabbit hole
tangwwwei 3y ago
i altered the default prompt to: Get me the top 5 non tech non stem related stories on Hacker News in markdown table format. Use columns like title, link, score, and comments. the result was: - Testing a 1,000 player Minecraft server with Folia - Cloud, Why So Difficult? - Build your own Docker with Linux namespaces, cgroups, and chroot - OPNsense: Open-source security platform - P1030680: Unbroken Enigma message (U534, 01 May 1945) on a related note is there any search or aggregator that can consistently and accurately gather all non-tech non-cs related posts on hn?

I always knew the most valuable part of commenting on Hacker News would be for training of a model that embodies the collective personality of Hacker News.

It would actually be pretty cool if it could respond with a few responses that are "in the character of" responses one might get on HN. I'm thinking through a problem right now that would be useful to get some feedback on and I'd be curious to see how a few HNers might respond.

Also, getting generic ChatGPT answers: >> What is the popular opinion on the recent Reddit protest As an AI language model, I don't have real-time access to the internet or social media platforms, so I cannot provide the current popular opinion on the recent Reddit protest. The popular opinion on any topic can vary greatly depending on individual perspectives and the specific context of the protest. Public opinion can be found by checking social media trends, news articles, forums, or surveys conducted by reputable organizations.

Can I search algolia for comments on a particular keyword and summarize them?

It looks like 2010 when everything was a social network. Now it’s a chatbot.

I don't want to chat, but if I could set up my interests/persona and get a custom feed through GPT filtering that would be great. Maybe a digest for the top 10 of the day. PS: With top comments as well, maybe as a newspaper page? Now I'm going down the rabbit hole

i altered the default prompt to: Get me the top 5 non tech non stem related stories on Hacker News in markdown table format. Use columns like title, link, score, and comments. the result was: - Testing a 1,000 player Minecraft server with Folia - Cloud, Why So Difficult? - Build your own Docker with Linux namespaces, cgroups, and chroot - OPNsense: Open-source security platform - P1030680: Unbroken Enigma message (U534, 01 May 1945) on a related note is there any search or aggregator that can consistently and accurately gather all non-tech non-cs related posts on hn?

I always knew the most valuable part of commenting on Hacker News would be for training of a model that embodies the collective personality of Hacker News.
